Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says they keep an eye on all their loan players.

Jonjo Shelvey's switch to Blackpool meant he became the seventh Liverpool player currently out on loan, joining Alberto Aquilani (AC Milan), Joe Cole (Lille), Dani Pacheco (Rayo Vallecano), Peter Gulacsi (Hull), Stephen Darby (Rochdale) and David Amoo (Bury).

Dalglish has revealed Liverpool keep a watchful eye on their players lent to other teams and believes each of the deals provide a range of benefits for both player and club alike.

"They're not forgotten - we know what's going on," explained the Scot to liverpoolfc.tv. "We get a summary of what games they've played in, what they've done, how they've done and how the club they're with are feeling about it."
